Road racer Jason Pridmore shot a 67 at the Encanterra Country Club in Phoenix, Arizona, yesterday to earn a spot in the 2011 U.S. Mid Amateur that will be held at the Shadow Hawk Golf Club in Richmond, Texas, September 17-22.

Pridmore's 67 yesterday put him in a tie for the tournament win as he headed a group of eight players who qualified. Some 68 others did not qualify.
